3 matchups to watch for in Chargers vs. Saints

Just like the Chargers, the Saints also share high expectations heading into 2018. That’s exactly why the Bolts couldn’t have asked for a better opponent to have their most important preseason game against.

When looking at both rosters, there should be some interesting matchups to come from Saturday’s game, and here are three we’ll be looking forward to.

OT Russell Okung vs. DE Cameron Jordan

Cameron Jordan is one of the league’s best pass-rushers and will be eager to top his 13 sack season in 2017. That said, he’s making his preseason debut as focused as ever, which should make him a good competitor for offensive tackle Russell Okung.

Okung has looked great during training camp and the two limited preseason games. In the process, he has been able to get quality work going up against guys like Melvin Ingram in camp, and it appears he is ready to take a big step in 2018. He couldn’t have asked for a better player to go up against for at least a full half and we are all here for it.
